Harvester St Davids – Cwmbran

1. 1st visit at Harvester Cwmbran. We had a lovely server named Ethan. Very friendly, told us about the app and all the discounts, etc. we could get. He took our order of drinks 1st, then our food order. My partner had a medium rare steak with ribs. I had the half roast chicken with baked potato. Chicken was lovely, but the skin on the baked potato, I couldn’t even cut it with the knife, and when I eventually did, it was hard and unchewable. My partner commented on how the ribs were slightly overcooked.

2. Absolutely rubbish, do not recommend. I went for lunch with some close family members today and certainly will not be coming back any time soon. To start, we had wonderful service, our server was a wonderful lady named Tia. She seated us and took our orders. Whe. We got the food was when it started going down hill. To start, I ordered ‘Tacos’ (DO NOT ORDER!) and it was one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced. There were these spicy chilli peppers (which quite frankly tasted a lot more spicy than a chilli since I can handle those) all over the Tacos, and they weren’t even stated on the menu. It doesn’t just end there and I wish it did, I could not eat any more of my food as I felt so sick after eating one of those peppers on accident and it ruined my day. Moving on to the second major issue, my mother ordered the ‘dirty burger’ which was just your standard burger with pickles and onion rings inside. It started off with tasting okay, despite how large and difficult it was to eat. My mother then flipped over the burger, and to her disgusting discovery, the burger bun was moldy (see picture below⚠️). We informed our server and she was an absolute angel about it, she was sympathetic and gladly got the manager (Anthony, I believe his name was) and I cannot say the same about him. This man did not care one bit, he just took the food and acted like nothing happened. He told us he would take the food of the bill and did he do that? No! Our total bill originally was £36 and he took £11 off, meaning were only having drinks free, he told us we would not be paying for my mother’s meal(£16) and my tacos(around £7). So we again informed our server and she agreed that this was wrong. So she went and worked some magic and managed to get our bill down to just £11. Now some people may call this petty and pathetic, but I’ve never really liked Harvester, it was just where most people liked so I forced myself to like it.

   Overall, I do NOT recommend coming to this restaurant and establishment. The food was horrible and unhygienic and the menu was incorrect (and in my opinion, overpriced). Our server, Tia, on the other hand was the light in this experience and was an absolute dear(give this woman a raise!!).

3. We’ve been a few times for breakfast at this location and every time the service and food has been flawless. Today we went as a birthday treat for my wife and again we had a great time.

   Our server, Cerys, was amazing. Quick, knowledgeable and friendly.

   My wife and little one had The classic breakfast which is a good size, while I went for the ultimate breakfast with added 4oz steak.

   Everything was cooked perfectly and hot when served. The steak was spot on. The unlimited coffee and soft drinks are a real money saver.

   Highly recommend this location for breakfast.

4. Great place, there are plenty of options for food, good vegan and vegetation options too. Prices are quite reasonable across the board i’d say, but things have gone up recently. Staff have always been friendly and helpful when I have gone here, and I’ve never experienced a long wait for food. When we came on this occasion we had the £18.99 for 3 courses deal on from 5pm onwards, the food, service and general atmosphere is great.
   The salad bar is also available here as with most harvesters, free with meals, and there’s a good refillable drinks station.
   My server was Sian.

5. Went in today for a pre-concert meal and served by a wonderful young man called Ethan. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. The new menu is absolutely amazing! Lots of new choices and our meals were perfect.
   Always enjoy our visits to this restaurant and the staff are always lovely. Thank you Harvester 😊
